(ADW) Two people were injured in a traffic accident involving a car and a motorbike in Echternach on Monday evening.

The incident happened just before 5pm when the driver of a car wished to turn onto the Rue Comte Siegfroi. However she did not see an approaching motorbike and a collision could not be avoided.

The motorbike rammed the front passenger side of the car, however despite the damage being considerate to both vehicles, luckily the rider and the driver escaped with only minor injuries but both were still taken to hospital.

As the accident occurred during rush hour, a major traffic jam built up and the road was blocked for some considerable time.
